Over the past decade, as Baby Boomers have reached traditional retirement age, many have decided to go back to work, start a business, earn another degree, or learn a new skill entirely. Sometimes they return to work for financial reasons, but studies reveal that a lot of Boomers experience a loss of identity when they leave the workplace.
And what does one do with all of that free time?
Fall begins with Labor Day weekend, and that is especially true in the South, where college football is the official symbol of the change of seasons.

Almost heaven, north of Atlanta
Blue Ridge Mountains, Chattahoochee River
It's my dream home, so peaceful to me
Luxury active living, here Where Life's A Breeze
We have opened up phase two at Encore and are now selling all available homesites in the community. Our beautiful Active Adult 55+ neighborhood features luxurious ranch homes with private courtyards or covered patios, two and three-car garages, and spacious designs to deliver the lifestyle of your dreams as your Encore performance!
It’s been said that every day holds a reason to celebrate, which is especially true for Baby Boomers who either have already retired and moved into their dream home, or who have both their dream home and their retirement in their sights.
At Windsong, we’re especially fond of “Ride Like the Wind Day,” which is celebrated each August 23. We figure it’s a holiday created for folks like us and our family of homeowners, for whom Life’s A Breeze…
Like the Not-So-Big movement, Right-Sizing has become de riguer for Active Adults, as they recognize that retirement is best enjoyed while we’re healthy, active, and able to live in our next-chapter dream home.
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away - Perry Como
Or, if you believe the folklore, you may prefer to make a wish when you see a shooting star.
Either way, you’ll have lots of wishes and very full pockets this weekend, when it’s peak viewing time for the Perseids Meteor Shower in the Northern Hemisphere.
It’s the middle of summer, as you can clearly see from the soaring temperatures on your car’s dashboard or your home’s outdoor thermometer…
Or can you?
In the summertime, when the weather is hot
You can relax and stretch on the chaise outside
When the weather’s fine
You’ve got resting and relaxing on your mind.
Read a book, host a party
You don’t have to leave your home for a good time.
